The aquaPRO offers the perfect balance between clean and healthy water.
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are very effective in eliminating contaminants and toxins present in tap water. Unfortunately, however, they also strip out all the dissolved minerals and leave the water super clean but acidic at a pH of 5 (100 times more acidic than neutral water at a pH of 7 - see What is pH).
RO water is also referred to as 'dead water', as it is stripped of its vital energy. RO water also has the potential of leaching minerals from our bones and tissues over time, as water is a solvent and water with no dissolved minerals becomes a more agressive solvent.
For more information about the long term effects of demineralized water on health, you can refer to the World Health Organization's report published in 2004 entitled "Health Risks from Drinking Demineralized Water".
The aquaPRO puts super healthy minerals and antioxidants back into RO water.
The aquaPRO first removes all the toxins and contaminants present in water using a 3 cartridge filtration system that includes a reverse osmosis membrane. Then, using a specially designed remineralization cartridge with slow release mineral ceramics, the aquaPRO produces antioxidant-rich alkaline water.

** These are the minerals removed during the Reverse osmosis treatment, but they are added back in during the last stage of the process through the remineralization cartridge.
